Report: Nolan Coming Back

Mike Silver of Yahoo Sports is reporting that Mike Nolan will return for a fourth year as the 49ers head coach. Thanks to the bloggers who noticed and posted it.

Silver, who used to write for Sports Illustrated and covered the team for the Santa Press Deomcrat more than a decade ago, has always had deep connections to the DeBartolo family. He’s also a fierce reporter.

According to Silver, Nolan will return with reduced powers, which probably means some of his offensive coaches will likely be fired. There are certainly some interesting days ahead.
